Alicia Keys: 'Girl On Fire' - Single review

"She's just a girl and she's on fire," Alicia Keys insists on her latest single. Given that she's now been in the business for over ten years, her last album was another global success and she's a new wife and mother, we suspect she is doing one of our pet peeves by referring to herself in the third person - rather than doffing her cap to Katniss Everdeen of Hunger Games fame.

"She's on top of the world, hottest of the hottest girls," she continues oh-so-modestly over crashing drums and a melody not too dissimilar to her Jay-Z-assisted smash 'Empire State of Mind'. "She's got her head in the clouds and she's not backing down," she continues, before belting: "This girl is on fire" on the lighter-waving chorus. While we're in no doubt Keys is satisfied with the result, we can't help feeling a little left out from the festivities.
